Sorry to bother you but I was curious as to whether or not you got this working? I downloaded soupkit.zip, clicked "extract here", opened the readme text file. First step was to - double Click "install.sh and select "Run in terminal". When I double click the file, the screen flashes and the file disappears. Makes no sense to me and I'm not at all experienced with Linux . BTW, running the software through a liveusb link. (not sure if that matters)

I'm trying to install SoupKit on my linux machine to fix my bricked kindle. I've followed the steps so far up to running "install.sh". I downloaded the soupkit.zip and then i extracted it and opened the README file. After i try to do the first step, "double-click install.sh" the screen flashes and then all the files disappear from the SoupKit folder. Is this supposed to happen? I'm not getting any of the options that it says are supposed to come up? I know this is an old thread, but please help lol

Some problems with file links

Thanks for Soupkit and Root Plus... however, lol isn't there always a however.

Getting and installing Soupkit was a piece of cake, works pretty good, however the link to RootPlus is a modified .exe file that my web browsers block from getting.. seems there is more to it than the original .zip file you submitted.

Since my wife retired this 2012 2nd Gen Fire tablet I tried a root from the web that left some korean/asian file that can not be removed, and resetting the device does nothing to it.

So was hoping this was a solution running on my linux mint system.

All that said, is there a link to RootPlus that has not been modified?

Thanks!!

To back up your current ROM you will need a rooted kernel and boot into recovery mode. Your devices forum should state how to get there. Go to backup and restore and select backup. This will backup your ROM.

I was trying to flash this thing back to stock to sell to someone from CM7, and for some reason, it seems like I'm bricked. Here's the method I used:

I did everything step by step up until:

"Now DONT do anythign to your Nook - Just sit back and relax

Once Nook finishes installing IMG, a "Green Checkmark" will appear on top right hand corner

Remove your SD card from your Nook Tablet

You will see Nook will restart itself"

I didn't see a green checkmark, I saw a red x instead. Would this be the problem? I redownload the img a few times now and tried this a few times, so I'm kind of giving up. It won't boot up at all unless I have the card in and it doesn't boot past what's described above.

If the repart image didn't work you have a few options. Use the Adam Outlers Ubuntu Total ReFlash Method to try and recover the stock operating system. If that doesn't work than maybe you erased some important information such as serial number etc. Take it to Barns and Noble for fixing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 1000cleverlines:
Finally got the Ubuntu recovery to download, i'll report back if it works.

taking it back to b&n probably isn't an option. it's over a year old, so i think that would make it out of warranty, but correct me if i'm wrong.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
FWIW, the /factory partition which gets wiped by AdamOutler's "Ubuntu Total Wipe & Reflash" contains backup copy of the NT device-specific data such as serial number, WiFi MAC address, etc., in archive format (romdata.zip) -- and there is no indication in Adam's post that this data gets saved (for later reflashing) before the partition gets wiped.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tomacrd:
Hey guys iam new to this whole rooting and jailbreaking but ever since I read about it I realy want to do it so I tryed it on my NT and in the last step it my NT didnt want to read my sd chip so I was stuck in boot mode so I just hit the factory reset and everthing was fine but when I turned it back on 2 days ago I got a please restart your device and try again if encounter again call customer support so I tryed the method he described above but I got green check mark but when I took out my sd chip the same error message pops up help will be greatly appceated thx.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
On the Adam Outler post is says.

"So, as a result of my work, I would like to present the first ever Ubuntu Recovery. This will totally wipe your device. With the exception of the ROM Partition which contains serial information, every single partition will have zeros written to it then flashed with just enough to preform an initial recovery reflash. Normally when you preform an update or flash the device, it is simply formatted. A formatted device can be unformatted. A zeroed device cannot be unformatted. All information is overwritten with zeros."

The Ubuntu recovery tool won't flash over the serial number. Only write zeros over the current partitions and attempt to reformat your system correctly.

If the ROM partition is gone( meaning serial number, Mac address etc) the options are to somehow recover and flash a ROM partition onto the Nook (which would be a problem if multiple people had the same information) or take it to Barns And Noble.

So in other words am screwd I dont know how to flash is there a tut on flashing cwm file and what are some good free flash programs

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
Alright! (If you dont mind helping me out) How did you get it to boot from the SD card? I've made a Ubuntu Card in hope of just testing out the operating system, but it won't boot from the SD.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
The /rom partition contains the

working copy

of the NT device data (factory installed device info (ProductID, manufactured data, etc.) and individual device data (serial no., MAC address, security encryption keys, etc.)), and the /factory partition contains the

backup copy

of the same data and well as the stock ROM in zip archive format, which are to be used by the stock recovery to restore the NT to factory fresh condition.

So, although Adam's tool itself does not zero out the /rom partition, its content is still subject to loss/corruption due to stock recovery's process of automatic reformatting and re-flashing the /rom partition with a non-existent (or possibly Adam NT's?) backup copy -- as it attempts to restore the NT to factory fresh condition.

No kidding!!!

Good luck with that, especially if the NT is out of warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Hi.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 and I love it.

However until today i had never encountered this "problem" in my phone.

My friend has a Galaxy S2 too, and today while I was helping him something with his phone, I noticed his screen brightness was higher.

We both have Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean XXLS8 running.

I also checked in the Settings under Display, and we both were on Dynamic Screen Mode and on full brightness. Auto brightness was off too.

just for the sake of it I also checked if the Power Saving feature was off, and it was OFF at both phones.

i typed the *#0*# and compared the colors of both phones and his phone clearly was brighter.

Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures of both phones or even do a video, but I hope I will do it soon, depending on the responses i get from you.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are two possible explanations to this:

1) Not every device is the same because the factory has several versions for their parts and the part will work the same, but there are subtle dufferences in performance. This is called "part revision".

2) Did you or your friend replaced the display on the phone? The service center could have installed non-Samsung OEM display that performs differently than the genuine one. Not speaking about OEM fake gorilla glass....

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] soupmagnet:
Due to recent updates, I've decided to remove the option to install Hashcode's 2nd bootloader. There are too many areas where things can go wrong so I think it would be best to let the user follow the small handful of instructions in the 2nd bootloader thread to get it done. IMO, it is not worth the risk to rely on the user to make sure a downgraded stock bootloader is installed before running the script. Plus I think using a script toinstall the downgraded bootloader gives users a false sense of safety in what is potentially very dangerous to do.
​

​

ROOT PLUS for 2nd Generation Kindle Fires

That's right. This works for ALL 2nd generation Kindle Fires.

What does it do?

The screenshot above should answer that question pretty quickly.

What do you need to know?

Since Hashcode's bootloader hack is device specific, you must download the version for your device. Each one has the exact same script but the stack, boot and recovery images are different for each particular device. You must have the SoupKit installed for this to work properly. It installs in the same way as the SoupKit; unzip, double click, run in terminal, blah blah.

Make sure you have ADB enabled under “Security” in the settings.

Anything else?

At any point after installation, if you need to run the utility again, just type "rootplus" in the terminal.

What's next?

I have a few more things in store for you guys and they will all be made for the SoupKit. As packages are installed, just type the name of the package in any terminal to launch them at any point (hence "modular"). Everything will be easy to install, easy to launch, and new user friendly.

Don't be skerrd. Move out of your comfort zone a little and give Linux and SoupKit a try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

* Fixed issue with 2nd bootloader install - everything works as it should now

* Added timestamp to saved partitions. Gives users the ability to save more than one set of partition images

03-18-2013 - Update: (RootPlus)

* Changed how 2nd bootloader is installed for compatibility with the KF2

* Added ability to update custom recovery. No need to update the script every time a new recovery is released.

* Added ability to choose partition images to be installed if more than one set exist in the BACKUP folder

* More intuitive restore of saved partition images - will hopefully prevent any chance of user error

03-16-2013 - Bugfix: (RootPlus)

I seem to have installed the soupkit correctly, I followed the instructions. I also installed the root plus in the same manner, but when it installs it just disappears. When I type rootplus in terminal it tells me "permission denied"

It also gives me command not found when I try to open soupkit.sh

thanks
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] soupmagnet:
That sucks...I'll have to fix that. In the meantime you can enter the following in terminal to fix the permissions:

sudo chmod a+x ~/bin/SoupKit/files/rootplus

Then you should be able to start it by entering "rootplus" in the terminal with no problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] soupmagnet:
There may be something off with the timing. In original testing on my KFHD 8.9, that was caused from the script entering the command to reboot too fast. I had the script pause for a second or two before rebooting which seemed to help (or I thought I did). I'll look into it a little further to see if I can make it work better. The error you get on the second time you run the script is because the first time you ran it, that file was renamed so it wouldn't exist the second time around.

[Edit:] Just hold the power button to shut down and then reboot while the script is sitting at "waiting for device"

Hi Soup,

I installed soupkit, I installed rootplus. The terminal just disappears but I assume it installed correctly. What I am trying to figure out is this:

Make sure you have ADB enabled under “Security” in the settings.

I am running Ubuntu Precise. I don't see anything under Settings about Security or about enabling ADB. Can you help me out a bit? Thaks!

[Edit] I had to: sudo chmod a+x ~/bin/SoupKit/files/rootplus too to get a terminal window on rootplus. But it doesn't do anything when I press 1.

[Edit again] Nevermind... was stupid to think that the Security change was in Ubuntu, I found it on the KF.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] soupmagnet:
Yeah, sorry about that...I'm working to get the permissions fixed now so I can upload a new working version. Barring distractions (yeah right), I should have a new one up within the hour. If nothing else, it

be fixed by the end of the day.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] empoy78th:
Thanks soup! Just to give you an update (although I think you are working on this already), when I press 1 on root plus, I end up on <waiting for device> although the KF2's finished rebooting. I tried the previous suggestion about holding down the power button and re-launching rootplus, but it didn't resolve it.

I will gladly test your new version. Thanks again!

Another question if I may:

When you have shell updates, does it use the same folder on the same partition? I am not quite good at Linux yet, so cleaning up previous installations is not my strength at all. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] soupmagnet:

I write the install script in such a way that updating to a newer version simply replaces what already exists, so there's no need to uninstall anything.
